10. Charlotte, of Monaco
The most beautiful European princess, young Charlotte Marie Pomeline Casiraghi has many an admirer, blue-blooded and otherwise.
The attractive girl with an obsession for equestrian sport is legendary actress Grace Kelly's granddaughter.

9. Aishwarya Rai
Yes, that's right!
The esteemed British publication has our very own Ms Rai breaking into the top ten.
Aishwarya is currently in the UK, shooting for the film Provoked

8. Kate Moss
Stirring up immense controversy in the early part of her career for her notoriously thin 'waif' look, Kate is indeed a dramatically dazzling woman.
Recently, a warped painting of Kate by Lucian Freud, picturing her as naked and visibly pregnant, sold at Christie's for $7.2 million.

7. Emmanuelle Beart
A luscious French actress, Emmanuelle is a classical European enchantress.
Daughter of French singer and poet Guy Beart, her greatest success till date is her role as a nude model in Michel Piccoli's 1991 film, Belle noiseuse, La, or The Beautiful Troublemaker.
And her negative outing in the Tom Cruise-starrer Mission Impossible .

6. Uma Thurman
Ah yes. The Bride is back.
Uma Karuna Thurman, a moniker decidedly strange by Boston standards, was named thus by her celebrated Buddhist scholar father, Robert S Thurman.
Nominated for an Academy Award for her terrific work in Pulp Fiction , Uma's most memorable turn came with another Quentin Tarantino project she co-conceptualised: the fantastic Kill Bill films.
If death were to greet one, wielding a samurai sword -- God, let it look like Uma.

5. Nigella Lawson
Nigella Lawson is probably the only person in history to have declined an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) honour for 'her services to journalism and cookery', (in 2001).
The ravishing chef is often a subject of discussion amid young British males, most of whom presumably responded to the title of her cookbook, Nigella Bites, with an amused, 'oh, does she?

4. Sofia Coppola
A surprising decision, it's nonetheless fabulous to see the unconventionally irresistible young director so high up on a list like this.
Francis Ford Coppola's daughter, her film debut was as the baby (boy!) in the christening scene toward the climax of The Godfather (1972).
Sofia, winner of an Oscar for Lost In Translation, is currently dating Quentin Tarantino.

3. Queen Rania, of Jordan
Inspiring the most gifted of writers to abject inarticulacy, Queen Rania is one monarch we just can't help falling in love with.
The gorgeous Queen is well known for her sharp business sense, her elegance, and her outspokenness, and often espouses humanitarian and charitable concerns.

2. Christy Turlington
Now 'Turly' is the one who put the super in supermodel.
Since 1987, she's graced about a thousand international magazine covers, including Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Esquire, and Elle.
Audiences around the world also cherish her great PETA (People for Ethical Treatment of Animals) ad where Christy appeared in the nude with a board saying 'I'd rather go naked than wear fur.'
Amen, Ms Turlington.

1. Angelina Jolie
This husky voiced daughter of legendary actor John Voight just can't seem to stop taking the world by storm!
Often referred to as the sexiest woman alive, Angelina's animal sensuality and primeval intensity are balanced by a strong humanitarian streak -- among other things, the scorcher actress is Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations.
Angie's been married to Billy Bob Thornton, accused of breaking up Brad Pitt's marriage with Jennifer Aniston, and has admitted that she finds a lot of women delicious.
Now, that's got to be the wildest chick in the world.
And we love every bit of the madness!

Minka Kelly Strips, Is Esquire's Sexiest Woman Alive (PHOTOS)

Esquire named the former Friday Night Lights actress (and girlfriend of Yankee Derek Jeter) the Sexiest Woman Alive in its November issue

"I think it's the most exciting birthday I think I've ever had," the actress tells the mag. "I'm so excited to be a woman. Done with the twenties.

"I'm confident...in my skin, and I'm cool with my flaws and all that stuff. It just feels nice to be at peace with yourself. I think my thirtieth birthday gave me permission to have all that."

Jessica Alba

On the cover of the March 2006 issue, Playboy magazine named Alba among its 25 Sexiest Celebrities, and the Sex Star of the Year. Alba was involved in litigation against Playboy for its use of her image (from a promotional shot for Into the Blue) without her consent, which she contends gave the appearance that she was featured in the issue in a "nude pictorial". However, she later dropped the lawsuit after receiving a personal apology from Playboy owner Hugh Hefner who agreed to make donations to two charities that Alba has supported. In 2006, readers of Askmen.com voted Alba No. 1 on 99 Most Desirable Women, while in 2007, Maxim Magazine placed Alba on the number 2 spot of their Top 100, after Lindsay Lohan. Both GQ and In Style magazines had Alba on their June covers, and in May, after eight million votes, FHM (UK and USA editions) named Alba the winner as 2007’s Sexiest Woman in the World.( Source:Wikipedia)
